A clip from our episode of Move to Lift your Mood today where we focused on #upperbody strengthening and mobility. The upper body is closest to the brain so there is a BIG connection to your mental frame of mind and your upper body. Tightness in the upper body (chest, shoulders, neck) can many times be due to mental stress. Our movement today focuses on opening up the upper body and then strengthening it. The last part got edited out - we ended with tricep push ups! 💪🏾 Stay well, stay safe, stay home, AND STAY STRONG! ❤️🙏🏽🐶 #movementismedicine #pilates #mentalwellness #mindbody #fitness #radhikasbalancedbody
